    INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

    We have audited the accompanying financial statements of each of the Funds, which comprise the statements of financial position,

    comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in net assets attributable to holders of redeemable units as at and for the periods indicated in

    note 2, and the related notes, which comprise a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

    Managements responsibility for the financial statementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of each of the Funds in accordance with

    International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation

    of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

    Auditors responsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements of each of the Funds based on our audits. We conducted our audits in

    accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan

    and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

    An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures

    selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due

    to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation

    of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an

    opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and

    the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

    We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in each of our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

    OpinionIn our opinion, the financial statements of each of the Funds present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, financial performance

    and cash flows of each of the Funds as at and for the periods indicated in note 2, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
